Peace to advocators of truth:
Was "Jesus" literally an individual; or a plagarized story about sun symbolism?
Here's a summary of the events that occured in the "Jesus" story. He was born to a virgin by immaculate conception through the intervention of a holy spirit. This fulfilled an ancient prophecy. When he was born the ruling tyrant wanted to kill him. His parents had to flee to safety. All male children under the age of two were slain by the ruler as he sought to kill the child. Angels and shepards were at his birth and he was given gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. He was worshipped as the saviour of men and led a moral and humble life. He performed miracles which included healing the sick, giving sight to the blind, casting out devils and raising the dead. He was put to death on the cross between two thieves. He descended to hell and rose from the dead to ascend back to heaven.
Guess what? That is how the eastern saviour God known as Virishna was described 1,200 years before "Jesus" is claimed to have been born. If you want a saviour God who died so our sins could be forgiven, take your pick from the ancient world because there are a stream of them.
Here are just some of the "Son of God" heroes who play the lead role in stories which mirror those attributed to "Jesus" and almost all were worshipped long before "Jesus" was even heard of:
-Krishna of Hindostan
-Buddha Sakia of India
-Salivahana of Bermuda
-Zulis, or Zhule, also Osiris and Orus, of Egypt
-Odin of the Scandinavians
-Crite of Chaldea
-Zoroaster and Mithra of Persia
-Baal and Taut, "the only Begotten of God," of Phoenicia
-Indra of Tibet
-Bali of Afghanistan
-Jao of Nepal
-Wittoba of the Bilingonese
-Thammuz of Syria
-Atys of Phrygia
-Xamolxis of Thrace
-Zoar of the Bonzes
-Adad of Assyria
-Deva Tat, and Sammonocadam of Siam
-Alcides of Thebes
-Mikado of the Sintoos
-Beddru of Japan
-Hesus of Eros, and Bremrillah, of the Druids
-Thor, son of Odin, of the Gauls
-Cadmus of Greece
-Hil and Feta of the Mandaites
-Gentaut and Quexalcote of Mexico
-Universal Monarch of the Sibyls
-Ischy of the Island of Formosa
-Divine Teacher of Plato
-Holy One of Xaca
-Fohi and Tien of China
-Adonis, son of the virgin Io of Greece
-Ixion and Quirnus of Rome
-Prometheus of Caucasus
Jesus is said to be the "judge of the dead". He has some competition there. This was also said of the earlier Nimrod, Khrisha, Buddha, Ormuzd, Osiris, Aeacus and others. Jesus is the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last. So were Khrishna, Buddha, Lao-kiun, Bacchus, Zeus and others. Jesus is claimed to have performed miracles such as healing the sick and raising people from the dead. So did Khrishna, Buddha, Zoroaster, Bochia, Horus, Osiris, Serapis, Marduk, Bacchus, Hermes and others. Jesus was born of royal blood. So were Buddha, Rama, Fo-hi, Horus, Hercules, Bacchus, Perseus and others. Jesus was born to a virgin. So were Khrishna, Buddha, Lao-kiun or Tsze, Confusius, Horus, Ra, Zoroaster, Prometheus, Perseus, Apollo, Mercury, Baldur, Quetzalcoatl and far too many others to mention. Jesus will, we are told, be born again. The sky is going to be rather crowded because Khrishna, Vishnu, Buddha, Quezalcoatl and others will also be there. The "star" at the birth of Jesus is another multi-deity story and goes back at least to the Babylonian tale of Nimrod who, in a dream, saw a brilliant star rising above the horizon. The soothsayers told him that this foretold the birth of a child who would become a great prince. It's all recycling. Jesus is a myth man.
Here are a few more Bible myths to expose:
The idea of the "carpenter" is a translation error. The English translation of "carpenter" comes from the Hebrew word naggar, via the Greek, ho tekton. These words do not mean literally a "carpenter", but people who were masters of their craft, and the word was applied to teachers and scholars as well as craftsmen.
Jesus was definitely not born in a stable, and not a single gospel claims this is so. The Christmas nativity is complete invention. The concept comes from Luke's Gospel which says that Jesus was laid in a manger, an animal feeding box, because there was no room in the inn. But the Greek version, from which the English translation came, says there was no "topos" in the "kataluma"-there was no place in the room. Matthew's Gospel specifically states that Jesus was in a house: "And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary, his mother, and fell down and worshipped him." Mangers were often used for babies when a proper cradle was not available, but they moved the manger to the baby, not the baby to the manger!
The nativity scene apparently originates with St. Francis of Assisi in Greccio, Italy, in 1223 AD. He brought together some local people and their livestock to illustrate the birth of Jesus, and this nativity scene quickly caught on. Manger scenes carved from wood became popular all over Italy at Christmas, and the rest is history. Giving gifts is not a Christian custom, either. This was done in the Pagan world at New Year long before Christianity. The Christians simply borrowed it, as they did everything else.
The prophecies said that the "messiah" (messeh, the crocodile of Egypt) would be called Emmanuel, but the name of the Gospel "messiah" was Jesus, or at least its Judean equivalent. Oops! Funny how Christians seem to miss this point when they quote the prophecy about the coming of "Emmanuel" every Christmas. Think of all those children who have been dressed up as Mary, Joseph, shepherds, wise men, donkeys, cows and sheep. This fantasy has been used to indoctrinate countless generations to believe that this is how it all happened, when, in truth, the nativity and the Christmas story are the acting out of translation errors, an invention of St. Francis, and the mid-winter rituals of pagan beliefs. I say, Jenny and Johnny, before you don those costumes this year, can I have a quiet word?
The Christian Eucharist, when they eat bread and drink wine to symbolize the body and blood of Christ, originates with a cannibalistic ritual when they ate and drank the real thing in animal and human sacrifices. Most of the Christian terms come from the Greek, including Christ and Christianity. Among many others are Church (the Lord's House), Ecclesiastical (Ecclesia, the Greek Assembly or Parliament), Apostle (missionary), Presbyter/priest (elder), and baptism (immersion).
Even according to the Gospel stories, terrorists surrounded Jesus. Simon Magus was known as Simon Zelotes (the Zealot) to acknowledge his role as a commander of the Zealots, the "freedom fighters" who advocated a war against the Romans. Another description is Simon "Kananites", a Greek word meaning fanatic. This was translated into English as Simon the Canaanite! Judas "Iscariot" derives from the word Sicarius, which meant assassin. There was a terrorist group called the Sicarii or Sons of the Dagger, and this name comes from the word, Sica, meaning curved dagger. Sicarius became the Greek, Sikariotes, and this was later mistranslated into English as Iscariot. The Zealots-Sicarii would raid Roman supply caravans and ambush their soldiers very much along the lines of terrorist groups like the IRA in Northern Ireland.
People were not crucified for theft, which makes the story of the two thieves crucified with Jesus another invention. It is a "steal" once again because the same story was told about some the Pre-Christian Jesus figures. The punishment for the "crimes" Jesus was accused of in the Gospels would have been stoning to death by the Judean authorities, not the Romans.
Pontius Pilatus, the Roman Procurator in this period, is supposed to have washed his hands and passed on responsibility for the death of "Jesus" to the crowd. The washing of hands to indicate innocence was the custom of the Essene community. The Bible says that it was the Roman custom at the time of the Passover Festival to offer a prisoner for release, but this is simply not true. There was no such custom and the scene is invention.
You can write an entire book about the myths in the Bible and, in fact, someone has. It's called, appropriately, Bible Myths [T. W. Doane], and if you want detailed documentation of the information in this chapter I thoroughly recommend it. There is no credible evidence whatsoever for the existence of Jesus. No archaeological evidence, no written evidence, nothing. So it is with Solomon, Moses, David, Abraham, Samson and countless other biblical "stars". All we have are the Levite texts and the Gospel stories in their various versions. So desperate did the religious manipulators become to cross reference "Jesus" that they inserted a pathetically obvious addition into the works of the "Jewish" historian, Josephus, to support the unsupportable. More than 40 writers are known to have chronicled the events of these lands during the alleged time of Jesus, but they don't mention him. A guy who did all the things that he was supposed to have done, and no one records it? Philo lived throughout the supposed life of Jesus and wrote a history of the Judeans which covered the whole of this period. He even lived in or near Jerusalem when Jesus was said to have been born and Herod was supposed to have killed the children, yet he doesn't record any of this. He was there when Jesus is said to have made his triumphant arrival in Jerusalem and when he was crucified and rose from the dead on the third day. What does Philo say about these fantastic events? Nothing. Not a syllable. Not a titter. None of this is mentioned in any Roman record or in the contemporary accounts of the writers of Greece and Alexandria who were familiar with what happened there.
Why? Because it didn't happen. It was a symbolic, coded story to pass on esoteric and astrological knowledge of many kinds and, most crucially, to create another prison-religion based on the symbols of the Babylonian Brotherhood. The human race has been had. Big time. [Underscoring and insertion added.]
Symbolically drinking the blood and eating the body of Christ does indeed seem to be cannibalistic. How is it that most of us, including me, until recently, have missed this rather obvious point?
When a book is translated once, not to mention multiple times, mistranslation of terms, and idioms, is a major concern. Yet, how many times have we heard that the Bible is the absolute word of God? And that doesn't even take into account the number of ecclesiastical councils that purposely altered the text-all with the best of (divinely inspired) intentions, of course.
Continuing, from The Biggest Secret, page 104, quoting from The True Authorship of the New Testament by Abelard Reuchlin:
The New Testament, the Church and Christianity, were all the creation of the Calpurnius Piso (pronounced Peso) family who were Roman aristocrats. The New Testament and all the characters in it-Jesus, all the Josephs, all the Marys, all the disciples, apostles, Paul, John the Baptist-all are fictional. The Pisos created the story and the characters; they tied the story to a specific time and place in history; and they connected it with some peripheral actual people, such as the Herods, Gamaliel, the Roman procurators, etc. but Jesus and everyone involved with him were created (that is fictional!) characters.
Christianity was a male bastion from its very foundation, created to suppress the balancing female energy.
The Christian Church was built to represent and perpetuate the extreme male vibration, the sun energy, and to keep the ancient knowledge secret. The Christian Church became a crucial and highly effective vehicle to remove knowledge from circulation so it could be used secretly and malevolently from behind the scenes. The assault on the balancing female energy and the hoarding of knowledge resulted in the persecution of "witches"-channellers, mediums, psychics and seers of all kinds.
After Constantine the Great came other emperors who influenced the course of the fast emerging Christian creed. Among them was Theodosius who made Christianity the official religion of the empire in 380. The power of the men in frocks grew enormously as the Babylonian priesthood dropped anchor in Rome. Anyone who strayed even marginally from the official beliefs was brutally executed and their documents destroyed-exactly the Nimrod doctrine of Babylon. This is not just a bunch of power-crazed psychopaths ad-libbing their way through this grotesque slaughter. It was a coldly calculated plan to rule by terror and, in doing so, take any other knowledge or versions of life out of public circulation.
